Tulatoli Colony, situated in Ward no 5 of Monpura Island in Bhola, is home to around 100 families. Due to its low elevation and absence of embankments, the colony is frequently flooded during cyclonic storms and tidal surges. In response, families are building their homesteads and toilets on raised platforms to prevent inundation during floods.
